Replace teh sparkplug first, casue you didnt mention it and service the airfilter and make sure the igntion coil cap and wire is good. Has the bike sat for a period of time without being ridden. Lets say 3 or more weeks ? If so your carburetor is gummed up and needs serviced, as well clean the entire fuel system. Fuel tank and flush all lines.

RACE TECH :

Did you remove the fuel ine from the carburetor and turn the petcock to both off and reserve to make sure you have good fuel flow ?

JACUSTOMER-v1vgxs8k- :

yes

RACE TECH :

Last test here and see where we get with it. pour a tablespoon of fuel in the sparkplug hole and now try and start it. Does it start and run for a few seconds or how long ?

RACE TECH :

Did you remove the jet from the carburetor to check it ?

RACE TECH :

Which jet was removed from the carburetor ?

RACE TECH :

Did you completely disassemble the carbruetor, soak it for 1 hour or more and spray each passage with carb cleaner and check each jet and then verify each passage including jets with compressed air ?

JACUSTOMER-v1vgxs8k- :

i sprayed either in the spark plug hole put the plug back in it did the same thing. i totaly went through the carb it looks good i dont remeber what main jet is in it but its not a jetting issue

RACE TECH :

Stop there please. How many jets were removed from the carb ?

JACUSTOMER-v1vgxs8k- :

yes i totaly went through the carb.3 jets

RACE TECH :

Hold on

RACE TECH :

Only thing left is your tps sensor.

RACE TECH :

My best guess is you messed with the sensor when you cleaned the carbruetor.

JACUSTOMER-v1vgxs8k- :

will that keep it from running?

RACE TECH :

Sure will.

JACUSTOMER-v1vgxs8k- :

this problem was here before i cleaned the carb

RACE TECH :

OK, lets get on that subject there

JACUSTOMER-v1vgxs8k- :

JACUSTOMER-v1vgxs8k- :

RACE TECH :

Is it a customers bike or friends bike ? Which one ?

JACUSTOMER-v1vgxs8k- :

RACE TECH :

Did you not ask any of this information ? You need to adjust that sensor to per manul specs.

RACE TECH :

JACUSTOMER-v1vgxs8k- :

RACE TECH :

Your not stumped. adjust the sensor
